Jaecoo claim 1 613 km on a single tank of fuel for their J7 SHS – We think not!

Omoda & Jaecoo are redefining the future of hybrid mobility with their industry-leading SHS (Super Hybrid System) technology. Omoda & Jaecoo’s plug-in hybrid SHS models have recently undergone extensive real-world testing across 16 countries, including Europe, Asia, Africa, and South America. These trials move beyond laboratory figures in an attempt to prove the global adaptability, durability, and reliability of SHS technology.Laboratory testing is not real worldThe reason to move from the likes of the widely accepted WLTP (Worldwide Harmonised Light Vehicle Test Procedure) to calculate average fuel consumption is that the numbers achieved this way are too optimistic. It tries to be realistic, but it’s still a controlled test, and not a reflection of how people actually drive. Jaecoo’s website lists the overall fuel consumption of the Jaecoo J7 SHS at 4.7 litres per 100 km with a 90...

The future of child health: Innovating to make childbirth safer for all

A newborn baby gasps its first breath and begins to cry. This is good, a vital reaction that shows the baby can breathe on its own, and a welcome sound few parents forget. There is nothing like holding a newborn, and it comes with a tangible sense of fragility: Pregnancy and labor put extraordinary pressures on the bodies of mother and child that bring significant risks to both. Nearly half of deaths in children under five happen within 28 days of birth, and globally an estimated 260,000 women died from maternal cause in 2023.Illustrated by Tayla De BeerWhile the numbers are staggering, the reality is that most of these deaths are preventable. For example, the four most common causes of maternal mortality are hemorrhage, high blood pressure, infections, and complications from delivery. There are effective...
